Red And Terry’s Timbers

We came to see Mad Margret but little did we know that the hit was going to be the 12oz Ribeye with a side for $ 10.99 — What!
It was a great steak and cooked to perfection. Yes this is a dive bar– yes it’s rough around the edges but if you are willing it’s worth the trip to Smyrna. Jeff at the bar will take care of you.

First time here on a Saturday night. Rockers night!! The band was great if you love live music this a place to go Saturday night. I had three drinks plus a very very good burger for less than $ 25 and a good show.

Friday is seafood night and boy is it good! The clam chowder is homemade by the owner and full of fresh seafood! The crableggs, shrimp and oysters are plentiful as well.
Is a dive bar and smokers are very well represented. If you can handle country music and a little cig smoke, you’ll live this place!

I really loved this place. There isn’t a large beer selection (and don’t even think about asking for a micro brew), but the staff is as good as it gets. The food is just as wonderful as the staff. Don’t know what you want to eat, just ask your server (who will likely be the bar tender) and she’ll be glad to give you some suggestions. I believe the guy who cooks the food also brings out the food on a busy night so don’t forget to give your compliments to the chef.
It’s not a super charming place (it is a bar afterall) but the staff and food definitely make up for what the décor lacks. They have live music on Friday nights and all kinds of fun stuff like Karaōke going on throughout the week.
If you like hometown bars, friendly service and surprisingly good food (definitely try the wings!), then give this place a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Food =? (It may be good for takeout. Eating it there… I wouldn’t consider it)
Price = 3 (Cheap smoke favored beer)
Experience = 2 (This place is a smoker’s paradise… and full of hard weathered older locals. After you leave, you’ll smell like &$#@ until you shower with smell good soap… be prepared.

This place isn’t much to look at from the outside. After pulling in to the parking lot, I almost pulled right back out. The lack of other food options in the area made me walk through the door anyway.
I am glad I did. Although they don’t seem to have the largest beer selection, Jeff the bar tender answered my questions and led me to a glass of Sweetwater 420. Very good choice! When I asked of they served food, Jeff’s eyes lit up and he told me the food here rivals any restaurant in the area. On his advice I went with the prime rib sandwich which was excellent! Jeff said although most of their food comes from a distributer, their meat is hand selected at the meat market.
The bar is starting to fill in and get busy now, but everyone seems happy and everyone has a drink in front of them. The patrons at the bar all seem sociable and are loving the jukebox tunes.
I would recommend this place to anyone in the area.

Good food, cold beer, great people watching and a clean crapper! What more could you ask for?

There’s something endearing about this place. It’s worth it just for the regulars.
Also, the burgers are made from leftover prime rib. Best $ 5 burger in Smyrna!
Grab a $ 2 pint, your Keno card, and enjoy the ride…

$ 2 pints? Yes please. Hilarious locals? Check. Also: Only a mile from my house. $ 1 taco Thursday. What more can you ask for in your friendly neighborhood dive bar? Oh yeah, the staff knows everyone by name and they are super sweet!

I live in the Mableton/​Smyrna area and have been looking for a great local dive bar. So I was pleasantly surprised to find this place on Unilocal.I went a couple of weeks ago and it was exactly that! The sign out front says the bar was established in 1968 and the décor looks like it hasn’t been updated since the 70’s. Wood paneling, faux wood bar top (formica maybe), and cheap old carpet. Despite this, I didn’t get the impression that the place was dirty.
When I arrived on a Sunday afternoon, the first thing I noticed was the heavy smoke and the back table where a few people were playing Texas hold ‘em. There was a rowdy bunch at the tables near the door who were celebrating someone’s birthday. I took a seat at the bar and was greeted by a friendly, but overworked bartender everyone called Cee Cee. The crowd was mostly older (50’s and up), but with some in their 30’s and 40’s sprinkled in. There was also a good mix of Black and White patrons and most people seemed to know each other. Cee Cee asked if it was my first time there and when I responded «yes» she gave me shrug and a look like I was in for an experience. I guess the dive bar atmosphere is a turn off for some people. After a few minutes, I could tell this was definitely a working class bar and I’d describe many of the patrons as «characters.»
As many have said the beer selection isn’t great, but it’s adequate. This isn’t the place for craft beers or a lot of imports. They did have Sweetwater 420 (one of our local craft beers in the Atlanta area) and Blue Moon on tap among the standard domestic brews (Miller, Budweiser, etc). I ordered a shot of Jameson Irish Whiskey and a Blue Moon along with some hot wings. Cee Cee brought my beer right away but got distracted and forgot my whiskey. I reminded her and she apologized and got it for me. The wings were pretty good, but not very spicy as others have noted. Other attractions to Red’s Timbers were the many flat screen TV’s showing sports (the Braves game and Pre-​season Football were on) and the modern digital jukebox. The music playing was mostly 80’s rock, which was cool with me. Overall, I really liked Red’s Timbers and I’ll definitely be back!

I love this place makes me feel like home!

Can you say «Old School?» I really hope bars like this never go away! Very friendly bartenders! Oldest bar in Smyrna… Eclectic patrons. Loved the guy in sunglasses, headphones & bandana! We ordered 6 chicken wings just to try & they were pretty good. Will I go back? Maybe to see my friends band play!

I’d been having a craving for some good wings for a while now, and I just happened to see an article on the AJC the other day about the best chicken wings in town. I wanted to go somewhere I hadn’t heard of before, and since Red’s was close to my house and got mentioned by several people commenting on the AJC article, I decided to give it a try. Man, am I glad I did.
The restaurant itself (actually, it’s really just a bar that serves food) is small and nothing to speak of… but the food? Oh man, the food. We got 20 of the medium wings and an order of tater tots with cheese. The wings were crispy, perfectly cooked, and flavorful without being drowned in sauce. The tater tots were also delicious (and tasted even better dunked in the ranch sauce they served with the wings). Our server (aka the bartender), Brittany, was very friendly and attentive.
I would recommend this place without hesitation to anyone looking for really good wings.
